Bishop Richard II. Cain Dead.


Early yesterday morning Bishop Richard
II. Cain, fourteenth bishop Of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, and the latest
ordained by that church, died at his resi-
dence on Capitol Hill after long and pain
full illness. Bishop Cain was q native of
Virginia, but went west In his early days
and grew up on the frontier. He studied
some time In Wilberforce University, but
did not graduate. Entering the ministry
quite early In life, In 1869 he was placed In
charge of the Bridge Street Church, Brook
lyn, and succeeded while there In founding
the Fleet Street Church. In 1865 he was
sent to South Carolina to organize the
church there, and occupying the position
Of superintendent of missions during that
year, and the following year he succeeded
In establishing the church all over South
Carolina, and introduced 1t into other
states.
In Charleston be founded and built up
Emanuel Church, one OF the largest Protest
ant churches in the United States. His
talents as an organizer soon drew him into
politics, and he became a member of the
constitutional convention of his state and
subsequently Of the upper house of the as
sembly. Later he was elected to Congress,
and served two terms as a member, giving
quite general satisfaction to his constitu.
ency. In 1850 lie was elected to the bishop
ric of the church by the general conference
held in st. Louis, Mo-, which office he held
to the time OF his death.
After his election as bishop he abandoned
all interest in political affairs. He was an
ardent friend of African colonization, and
managed an expedition to that country al
most alone. He was man OF great energy
and decided ability as a ready and fluent
speaker and fine debater. His funeral
will take place Friday at IL q. m, in the
Metropolitan A. NJ. L. Church, NJ street,
between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, on
which occasion 1t is expected that Bishop
